Bosch Unveils New SMA130 Triaxial Sensor for Infotainment Systems

Mar 11 15

Bosch has introduced a new SMA130 triaxial acceleration sensor that provides information for automotive infotainment and telematics applications. The sensor is based on Bosch's MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology and measures just 2x2 millimetres in size, making it one of the smallest sensors for automotive applications. Despite its small size, the sensor provides measurements between ±2 g and ±16 g in high 14-bit resolution. The SMA130 sensor is energy-efficient as it consumes 130 microamperes of power when active. It comes in five user-defined energy-saving modes and reduces power consumption to as low as one microampere. The sensor can be mainly used in alarm systems such as to prevent the sensor from putting excess strain on the battery when the vehicle is parked for longer periods of time. In addition, the SMA130 sensor can support navigation system when GPS reception is poor. Bosch will start series production of SMA130 sensors later in 2015.
